“the way mine fits, the slit remains a little open (unlike on the model in the photo), and I actually like it better that way. The fit is very good, the weight of the fabric is a little thinner/lighter than the Riviera or Nova, but the lining is very nice and the dress feels like it is good quality - it looks a little more formal in the photos than it does when I tried it on. If I had to choose one, I would choose the riviera over this dress (I ordered and will be keeping both). I'm 5'7" and 150 lbs and the size 12 is perfect.”
